( C - C/B ) x4

Half Mile ( C ) Hill, ( C/B ) eight years ( C ) old ( C/B )
Standing on ( C ) top ( C/B ) with the world ( C ) below ( C/B )
( F ) Me and my dad
Talking ( C ) man to ( C/B ) man ( C - C/B )
Suitcase ( C ) packed, ( C/B ) he was moving ( C ) out ( C/B )
Said, It's no one's ( C ) fault, ( C/B ) but I had ( C ) my ( C/B ) doubts
( F ) And I have them still
Up on ( C ) Half Mile ( C/B ) Hill ( C - C/B )

(Chorus)
You can see the ( F ) ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round the ( C ) courthouse ( G/B )
See the ( Am ) sun go ( G ) down
Where the ( F ) street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing ( C ) I could ( G/B ) fly like a ( Am ) cut-string ( G ) kite
( F ) Tapping on the floor of ( G ) heaven 
( F ) Is anybody ( G ) listening?

Half Mile ( C ) Hill, ( C/B ) seventeen ( C - C/B )
Tailing the summer, ( C - C/B ) Angie and me ( C - C/B )
Kicking ( F ) beer cans off the side
( C ) One last ( C/B ) time ( C - C/B )
She was wildcat ( C ) tough, ( C/B )  I was scarecrow ( C ) thin ( C/B )
We were thick as ( C ) thieves ( C/B ) 'til the bitter end ( C - C/B )
( F ) Trying to make time stand still
Up on ( C ) Half Mile ( C/B ) Hill ( C - C/B )

Chorus

Hey all, you ( F ) lovers and leavers
Stuck in-betweeners
( G ) Loners and stoners
Old drunks and dreamers
( F ) Rumbling and stumbling
Always looking for something
( G ) Past that no trespassing sign

You can see the ( F ) ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round the ( C ) courthouse ( G/B )
See the ( Am ) sun go ( G ) down
Where the ( F ) street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing ( C ) I could ( G/B ) fly like a ( Am ) cut-string ( G ) kite
( F ) Tapping on the floor of ( G ) heaven
( F ) Tapping on the floor of ( G ) heaven
( F ) Is anybody listening? ( G )
Up on Half Mile ( F ) Hill ( G )
Is anybody ( F ) listening? ( G )
